Cohousing-L Mailing List: Quantity cooking - sourcebooks?

[Lynn Nadeau (welcome]

If you are cooking in your common house (or have cooked for a crowd 
elsewhere), what are some useful books or sources for quantity cooking? I 
know you can't just blithely multiply recipes by ten. It would be useful 
to have for the common house both some good recipes (I think Moosewood 
has a "crowd" cookbook) and also some real basic info (are there military 
cookbooks?) just to tell you how much lettuce for salad for 25 or 50, or 
how much rice or spaghetti or the like. Is there an Internet source?

I suggest you answer to me directly, and if I get some responses I'll 
collect them all and post it back to the list.

member with a terrible flu, another with a family crisis, and another 
with a newly-broken arm! Lots of soup getting carted from house to house.
